And film makers don't program under Linux ;)
good point. Let's draw a Venn diagram! Here are the skills of arts
graduates and here are the skills from engineers.
Consequence: Linux NLEs are not usable for any serious project (which
involves actors, story, etc).
Might be true, yes.
I'm still confident that this will change. In the audio world there's
audacity which is now widely being used (even by the BBC).
I've got the problem that I'm starting here a collaboration with the
film/TV people where we actually want to produce a short film. With
Linux people who usually don't do filming and arts people who don't know
where's the lens of a camera. ;-)
In preparation of that I've tried so far all different kinds of programs
and I'm getting more and more frustrated because none of the programs
can cope with HDV and they all crash during the simplest tasks (e.g.
loading two HDV clips in the timeline and do a crossover). In contrast
they can rotate an image by 73.3 degrees and do a croma key on the edge
detected motion field. ;-)
I'm also looking into that because I would like to have the students
work on one of the video editors and improve it. I had some hopes with
Cinerella but it's just too slow to begin with (and loads of bugs and
and and). The only program which somehow impressed me was kdenlive so
far (0.4). It's fast and it does simple things reliably.
